IOST, one of the popular projects on the blockchain market - presents a new product. It is... a game. "An empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide. A great dynasty dies, tyrants rule the kingdoms, chaos spreads through the cities. Amidst the flames and confusion, hope emerges, and the desire to survive grows stronger, even as peace crumbles..." Honestly? Even someone who doesn't play video games (like the writer of these words) must be intrigued by such a teaser. It comes from the IOST blog and encourages interest in a game based on the company's technology. IOST and the story of Sanguo Zhi The Tales of Sanguo Zhi (or "Three Kingdoms") is actually a Chinese chronicle from the 3rd century that describes the era of the Three Kingdoms in China, a period of time, so to speak, when the Middle Kingdom was split into three. The country broke up into three, rival, separate countries. The great historical novel "Tales of the Three Kingdoms" was based on the chronicle in the 14th century. The story itself has always influenced authors and is one of the most fascinating periods in Chinese history. It has inspired authors of countless video games since the 1980s and continues to do so today. Now, another such product is coming to the market. Crypto Sanguo, however, is a special production. Crypto Sanguo is the first MMORPG strategy game (it's a genre of RPGs, but in a mulitplayer version) built on IOST blockchain technology. It is available on both mobile devices and PC. The goal of players is to collect materials, equipment and SGT (tokens in the world of Sanguo). Of course, nothing comes easy in this universe. The game is based on fighting almost everyone against everyone for limited resources. Using equipment and SGT, players can equip and upgrade their heroes to defeat more enemies. Pre-orders for the game Crypto Sanguo begin in late August and will run for one week. The process is expected to be based on the IOST mainnet. After it ends, players will be able to mine SGT by playing the game itself. All tokens are generated from mining and will not be available through any additional ICOs. Furthermore, 90% of the proceeds from the sale will be redistributed back to the players. Unlike most other such DApps projects, the development team along with the marketing channels will only keep 10% of the proceeds. Game The game has a built-in "blockchain marketplace" through which players can buy their characters directly from the platform. Peer-to-peer trading is also supported, so users can profit from selling their characters, materials or equipment. This gives the gameplay more realness and adds to the real-world economy issues. In the game, players can keep or burn SGT to receive IOST tokens as dividends. In the future, there will also be daily sweepstakes where players can win rare resources or equipment. The game itself will also be expanded with a command project. By participating in a 3-tier referral program, players will be able to invite their friends to the game and receive bonuses of different values. An additional element of the game will be rankings. In this section players can check their own "battle rankings" and resource rankings. Unseen Magic Studio "IOST is excited to partner with Unseen Magic Studio and launch a high quality blockchain game - Crypto Sanguo," - reads the company's blog post. Unseen Magic is a New York-based online game studio founded by former employees of major U.S. Internet and gaming companies. In the future, IOST - according to the company's statements - will cooperate with other most professional teams working on such topics, promoting the development of the blockchain gaming industry. Pu Shi, CEO of Unseen Games, is a well-known entrepreneur, investor and advisor in many blockchain projects. He is also an independent game developer with over a decade of experience, and is the former co-founder and CTO of Carloha.com. Previously, he was a senior software engineer at Google and Microsoft before completing his master's degree in computer science from Emory University. IOST It is also worth taking this opportunity to introduce IOST (Internet of Services) itself, which today is one of the most interesting projects operating in the blockchain technology market. The company primarily wants to improve the scalability of blockchain as such. It is not without reason that some see it as the "second Ethereum". The startup wants to implement groundbreaking solutions in terms of "a secure way to decentralize a scalable registry". Ultimately, the network is expected to be able to handle as many as 100,000 transactions per second (TPS). In comparison, the Ethereum blockchain can only conduct 25 TPS, while Bitcoin can only conduct 7 TPS. A definite advantage of the IOST infrastructure is its own consensus mechanism, called Proof-of-Believability (PoB). "PoB differs from PoS in that two types of tokens are involved in the transaction confirmation process. The first of
